Knowledge, Perception, and Experience of Dentists About Teledentistry.
Article in International dental journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the level of knowledge, perception, and experience of teledentistry amongst Brazilian dentists with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsBetween June and July 2020, an online questionnaire was used to collect information on the demographic and professional profiles of dentists and their levels of knowledge, perception, and attitudes towards teledentistry. Descriptive statistics were reported as percentages, and Chi-squared test was used to compare responses amongst general practitioners, specialists, and those with varying levels of professional experience.
resultsThis study included 575 dentists, the majority of whom were from the southeast region of Brazil (73.4%) and had a specialist degree (70.4%). Approximately 42.4% of the study sample had graduated more than 10 years ago, 39.3% between 2 and 10 years ago, and 18.3% up to 2 years ago. In general, the majority of dentists exhibited only a superficial awareness of the resolution that regulates teledentistry in Brazil. A greater number of specialists were aware of the resolution (P = .007) and felt confident performing teledentistry (P = .000) compared to general practitioners, whilst those with more experience (graduated more than 10 years ago) exhibited greater knowledge (P = .012) and preparation (P = .000). More than 60% of the dentists, regardless of dental specialty and clinical experience, had no knowledge of providing prescriptions via teledentistry. The majority of general practitioners (89.5%) and specialists (81.4%) had no previous experience using teledentistry.
conclusionsThe findings of this study suggest that Brazilian dentists are inadequately prepared for the implementation of teledentistry.
